Tjock is a low-end enhancer similar to my plugin Bear but with a huge difference, Tjock finds and boosts the fundamental as well as adding upper harmonics to the signal. Initially created as a mastering version of Bear but soon started to go astray during development to find its own space in the toolbox. The final version end...
2023-09-12 14:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostSquare2 is an exceptional Equalizer/saturator that doesn't sound like anything else. With Square2 you will be able to dial in exactly the right amount of saturation and distortion to add life and perceived loudness by just adjusting a simple EQ. You can even place it post your limiter and still be able to add 1-3dB of gain wi...
2023-08-17 13:59:39 +0000 UTC View PostWUT2 is an extremely digital processor with the aim to make you feel like tweaking analog gear. It's trying to emulate the analog workflow, not the sound. The idea is that by laying out the controls and letting them react with the audio in a certain way you will be more present and become better at listening. Hopefully, you'l...
2023-06-20 21:28:19 +0000 UTC View PostIf you use ItemFX in Reaper I'm sure you come across "ItemFX buffer click". Without going into too much detail the last buffer risk being left in memory and being released as the plugin wakes up the next time you play the item, creating a click that is very annoying. This applies to random developer's plugins too, not just my...

It uses the detection algorithm from Purr-Fect but instead of achieving fast gain compensation, it is utilized to compensate for any differences in energy between the left and the rig...

2023-05-02 11:02:12 +0000 UTC View PostElement is a free alternative to Blue Cat's Patchwork or DDMF MetaPlugin. It pretty much does exactly the same and works excellently with Purr-Fect. So, if you think it's too much work setting up Purr-Fect in your DAW you now have a working alternative completely free.

I was hoping to be able to show you how I use Buhdist while mixing but couldn't find a mix that I could use publicly without violating copyright laws.

Differences between v1 & v2:
Version 1.50 of Purr-Fect is the first update entirely made on my new computer. Even though I've done some heavy testing to make sure everything works as expected I'm a bit cautious, so, please report any bugs or unexpected behavior as soon as you can. Thanks!

DynaRoute can be a bit hard to set up, it has the same requirements as Purr-Fect so it will need the same signal that's feeding inputs 1 and 2 also feeding inputs 3 and 4 (in most DAW you'll need to use the built-in sidechain functions).

May 20, 2022: I fixed a small bug, the plugin didn't report latency correctly. And, some GUI work. I'll make this plugin look prettier over time, today it got a wooden frame. I'll update the Mac build as soon I get the Mac back from my wife. =)

Fletchy-Muncher helps you find out if your mix is too harsh sounding. It does that by applying an inverted Fletcher-Munson curve (the opposite to the plugin Smile). By doing that, the part of the spectrum where our ears are most sensitive will stand out. You should be able to go up halfway without killing your ears.
